I disagree with both points. I’m not sure we have foreign policy f that implies a long term plan based on mutual self interest. One example would be that when attacked by 11 Saudi nationals, led by a Saudi national, our response was to attack Iraq.

Just in time for spring... You know how you read about cars where it says something like:” The xr5000 was unfortunately released during a huge economic downturn and vanished quickly..”  

The US is situated about 7500 miles from Iran. Iran has never directly attacked the US. The Shah was not a US “ally”, he was put in place by CIA facilitated coup that overthrew the elected government. He was a murderous ruler who tracked and killed people around the world as well as in his country. He was put in…

There’s something about this pean to rolling brutalism I love. Add lightness? Fuck you.

No it won’t - it will be another Ruthian ghost that points to an historical short sighted stupidity that periodically sinks this team into a morass of self pity,

Nice analysis, though I wouldn’t call Porcello dead money - he’s won a lot of games for the team. If you squint, and want to get really mad, they paid Sandoval 29million for a few years for something like one game and a snapped belt -it could be argued they’d be trading Betts to make up that money. NO!

I believe that engine was also blueprinted and hand built. It also had independent A-arm suspension all around. -no struts here.

Because with a sllek torpedo like that Subaru owners might feel they have to drive at, or slightly above the speed limit.  No No a thousand times No.

and does Porsche insist on calling the valve a “Tire Nozzle”?

Maggie Thatcher and Boris are the MLKs of their time LOL - we can only hope to be so fortunate.  Somewhere the Duke of Windsor is smiling and thinking: “ By jove we won - just took a little time...”  LOL

Brexit: another russian funded disruptor enabled by virulent rascism , nationalism and xenophobia. The naked expression of rascism in the UK is awful even by US standards where, before Trump, open ugly expression was somewhat tempered. Probably on par at this point.

Well one investigation could re-open another and he’s already spread enough cash to quash that - so it is a cost benefit analysis by Reach Around Bob.

Porsche does big car styling pretty well, and the green is fab - but 100miles less range and 80,000 more bucks - they’re really counting on their name here as the battery tech is not up to par. I also question all the added mechanical complexity - If light is the ICE mantra, simplicity is the RV mantra. IMO.

I like the cut of your jib.  I think some zebra patterned slip covers would finish the job and I’d ride it till it died.

There’s lots of good stuff on Netfix - a lot is international and really good.  If you want disney princesses you got disney.

waddya mean ya don’t have ketchup - what kind of fake restaurant is this?!

Not so sure on your assessment of Verstappen. He has a temper but is not, as far as I can see, temperamental. He’s tied for 3rd driving a car that is not quite at the level of Ferrari - not a sign of inconsistency. Coming from an F1 family I’m pretty sure media monikors are not top on his mind     - he’s in it for…

Red Bull not count?  Last I saw MV had more wins than Vettle and only less than Lewis.

shit is what shit does

Nikki Lauda was a pay to play driver at the start.  How you get access may not be as important as what you do with the opportunity.
